Barry, do you know if this unit has the option in device manager to force it to run at 5ghz? I know some wireless adapters do, but I'm not sure which one is included on this unit.

Currently using a TPlink, I find they are generally really stable after a few firmware updates and I can pull almost a gigabit over wifi which I am very happy with.

I have also had decent luck with Asus routers as well! They are super customizable with Merlin's firmware.
